I have a few scars, but these two are the most noticeable.

This first one I got when I was very little....maybe 6? I was running around a house my family was looking into buying (I think - I don't 100% remember), and my little sister was chasing me. I turned around to see how close she was and when I turned back *BLAM* I ran right into a windowsill (I was little, so it was at exactly between-the-eye height). I think I had like 6 stitches.



Also, I look kind of cross-eyed in this photo.

Dianerda 57,835 109
11/30/2010 02:54 PM

This second one was from my old eyebrow piercing. I'd had it for about a year. I was getting my hair done at a new place and while the girl was brushing my hair forward the comb grabbed the piercing and ripped it right out of my face.



I did get to wear a super awesome Buttercup band-aid though!



Ugh. If you click through this photo and click on my "eyebrow" tag on the bottom right, you can see the rest of my eyebrow scar photos.

I have a scar on the outside of my big toe on my right foot from when I was about 5, I was outside walking wearing homemade knitted "slippers" and I stepped on a nail.

I have a scar on my left lower abdomin from when I was about 6 and riding my bike down a hill and I hit a rock, flipped over the handle bars and scrapped my side on the exposed handle that popped through the cheap rubber hand grip

I have a scar of my left cheek from when I was about 8 and I was testing the brakes on a friend's bike. They didn't stop me, but the house did. 3 stitches later and I was good

I have a scar on my left elbow from when I was about 15 and I was riding my bike and a car bumped me causing me to fall and slide on my elbow, exposing the bone.

I have a scar/indent/black spot on the top of my head from when I was about 20 when my now wife tried dying my hair blonde and ended up burning my scalp. (DON'T JUDGE ME! It was 1997 and Dennis Rodman was cool)

I don't have too many, actually. In order of amusing back story...

-A scar on my arm, around my right elbow. I was at a party, introduced myself to a girl, and she proceeded to attack me with a box of tinfoil, completely unprovoked. The serrated edge is rather jagged, let me tell you.

-Ball of my right foot. Went swimming after drinking a 40 of vodka before 3pm, and when I climbed out of the stream (and through a tree) apparently stepped on shale and got it lodged in my foot. Didn't realize until the next day, when I had to go to the ER to get it out.

-Middle finger on my left hand. Was carrying an old rusty shelving unit when someone decides to try to break it by smashing it against the wall. Shelf slides and slices open my finger. I go to the bathroom, leaving a trail of blood in my wake.

-A scar in the shape of an iron on my right forearm. Burnt on an oven door. Twice.

-Eyebrow from a piercing growing out. Twice.

I have the same bridge of nose/between the eye scar as Diana. The boy down the street threw a rock at me. I bobbed when I should have weaved. To add serious insult to injury, I got blood all over my favorite Ocean Pacific shirt. And, my bastard mother and step-father didn't believe in emergency rooms or stitches, they preferred instead to rely on witchcraft: namely two butterfly bandages crisscrossed in a big X on my face, turning me instantly into THE most visible person in my school.

My biggest scars are surgery scars. Hysterectomy, C-section, and cholecystectomy scars on my belly. I also have a quarter-sized bald spot on my head where I had cysts removed.

I have a slight scar at the base of my right thumb. I bought my younger brother a Swiss Army knife for Christmas one year, and I was instantly catapulted into the "BEST SISTER EVER" realm. However, my parents immediately told my brother that he was too young to own a knife and that he'd hurt himself. To prove them wrong, I demonstrated how easy it was to shank yourself while opening the knife.

I have 3 round scars on my stomach from my emergency gallbladder removal, but those don't really matter because I don't let anyone gaze upon my midsection.

My right knee has a couple of scars from when I fell on the edge of the road while walking one day.

Oh, and then I have a long, straight vertical surgical scar on my lower back, along my spine. I've never had ANY surgery there, but 4 different doctors have remarked that it couldn't be anything other than a surgical scar. I don't tell them it was the aliens, but I totally know it was.

I have a 4 inch raggedy scar on the inside of my left forearm.

While in high school and entering a period of heavy drinking (started in 1973 and is scheduled to end no later than 2057), I was leaving a bar as it was closing down. The exit was clogged with other drunks and my friend Sam got behind me and starting shoving me through the crowd, shouting "B52! B52!"

For some insane reason, the outside entrance to the bar was made of sharp-edged stones. The B52 successfully parted the crowd and I went flying down onto the steps, ripping my arm open.

We wrapped bar towels around it to staunch the bleeding a bit, and drove back to another friend's house. He somehow managed to get most of the blood flow to stop using butterfly bandages, and I then drove home and went to sleep in my basement bedroom.


Cut to next morning with my dear, sweet mother coming down to start some laundry and popping her head in to see if I had any clothes to wash. The sheets on my water bed (Hello 70s!) were soaked in my blood. She told me later that, for a brief moment, she thought I was dead. I will regret to my dying day doing that to her.

My best scar faded, the cuts weren't that deep, but it was still awesome. I was building barbwire fence with my dad, he was using a ratchet to stretch the wire tight and I was about to start tying the wire to the posts, when the wire snapped. Brand new, razor-sharp barbwire wrapped around my torso 3 times at high speed, leaving the awesomest perfect spiral dotted line scar all the way around me, starting above the left nipple and ending going across my navel. I really regret never getting any pictures of it.

2 scars on my right pointer finger, one from an Xacto knife in 6th grade, one from a pocket knife a few years ago.

I had five warts burnt off of my hands when I was in middle school that all left scars, two on my left pinky, one on my left ring, one on my right thumb, and one on the fleshy webbing on my right hand between my thumb and pointer.

I'm pretty sure I also still have a big scar on my knee from when I was younger. I think it involved a razor, but I'm not sure.

I probably have one on my head where I had stitches after a car accident, but I've never seen it.

I have a couple on my legs--one on my right knee from when I was eight the summer we moved to Maine. I got a mosquito bite that got infected and was really gross. Another one, from about five years ago, on that knee from when I was cutting a piece of wood on a table saw that was not on a table, but on the ground, so I was crouched down. I let go of the piece of wood and a jagged part of it flipped around and hit my knee, right where there was a hole in my jeans. And another one on my right leg where I accidentally slashed it with a utility knife while cutting something up when I was in my 20s.

For some reason, I have none on my left leg.

I have one on my chin from when I hit myself in the chin with pliers, I can't remember how. I was probably about 11 or 12. The knob to turn the channels on our T.V. fell off and we used the pliers to change channels.

I have one on my neck from when I was in high school. I spurned the advances of Tom Diplock at a party in the woods. The cops came to the party, so we were all leaving via a path through the woods. Unbeknownst to me, Tom was behind me on the path and was not happy about being rejected. He shoved me and I fell, and my neck and lower face landed on a splintery root.

I later found out he had a reputation as a date-rapist.

I have various pock-marks on my body from when I had chicken pox at age three. There were some I must have scratched really hard because I still have big marks, especially if I get a tan.

And, it doesn't count as a scar--more like a tattoo, but I have a blue dot on my ass from where my older brother stabbed me with a pencil when I was about four or five.

I almost forgot, I have a scar on my left boob from a biopsy I had 5 years ago, but now it's blended in with the stretch marks on my boobs, so I can't see it.

Perfect horseshoe-shaped scar on my left shin.
I was about five years old. Anyway, young enough that when sitting at the dinner table my legs stuck straight out from the chair. The table was glass-topped, and my mother was about to put down a glass jar of applesauce with wet hands. It slipped, of course, shattered the table, and great big shards of glass slid right across my little legs.
I recall it didn't hurt at all. In fact, I didn't even notice it until I looked down and saw the flap of skin hanging down onto the top of my foot.
I thought it was a piece of macaroni.

We were eating chicken.

I have a faint scar above my upper lip but below my nose, aka the philtrum. On a bright and sunny late 1970's morning, my friend Joel and I were taking turns pulling each other up the hill at the end of my street in a red wagon. And no that is not an euphemism for gay sex either.



Was I ever small enough to fit in that by myself let alone with another person?11!?


When we got to the top, we'd both hop in and zoom down the hill. Well it was my turn to ride up. When we got to the top I stood up, and Joel did not notice and he kept pulling. Next thing I know, my face is kissing the sidewalk. My top lip busted and swelled up so large that I could only eat broths and such for 2 weeks through those little red and white coffee/cocktail straws.







Then I have a one inch scar on my cheek from a cyst that grew on my cheek bone.

Also, I have a 7 or eight inch scar on the inside of my left elbow from Ulnar nerve surgery.

Then I have the nice foot long scar on my chest from my heart bypass surgery. Along with two scars on my stomach from the drainage tubes and the two scars on my legs from where the took the veins out.

Did you get it on an appearance of "Jackass"? Did it involve a bar bet and a bear trap? Did you fall on your head while on the roto-whirl and get caught in the ride mechanism? Were you going for a question mark scar-tattoo but decided half-way that you didn't want it anymore?

Looking at the picture of Bill's head scar again, I think his scar looks like the back of his head. I've added the ear and part of the glasses:



I started to edit the head that is the scar on the back of Bill's head to add a scar that looks like the back of Bill's head, but I evidently opened some sort of worm hole and those two black & white / white & black guys from Star Trek tried to come through, so I stopped.

I heal remarkably well and don't have many noticeable scars. There is one, though.

When I was maybe 10 or 12 years old, I was ice skating on a pond near my house, and, as kids did back in those Currier and Ives days, we were playing crack the whip. In a horrible chain reaction, one kid tripped and fell, dragging down the next kid, and the next, on down the line. I was about third from the end, and when the last, and littlest kid went down, he flipped head over heels and landed flat on his back, perpendicular to me, with the back end of his skate blade buried in my groin.

I have a scar about one inch long in my right upper thigh, so close to my private area that if I had not been wearing jockey shorts, I might have had a premature vasectomy. It's pretty close to the femoral artery, too.

It was worth it, though, to see the ashen look on every male face when they saw the skate blade going in through my jeans and the blood squirting out of that sensitive area. And the one adult male who gravely asked me, "Did he get the family jewels?"

When I was three years old, I was playing on the balcony of my apartment with one of these:




It rolled off the balcony, I caught it halfway down. I hit the asphalt with my head. I hit so hard (14 foot drop) a quarter sized piece of my skull was broken off and shoved into my brain.

The doctors said that I either needed to have brain surgery to remove the piece or wear a helmet the rest of my life.


And yes, that is why I am the way I am.

I have a bunch of scars. I named my favorites to make it easier to tell their stories; for example, there's Blonde Moment Scar. This scar is on my left pointer finger and happened when I was about 10. I was at a summer camp taking whittling and the counselors told us not to bring the knife towards us. Being the inquisitive person that I am, I wanted to know what would happen. Hence the scar.

Other favorites:

Wall Burn Scars: I climb rocks, and I sometimes climb in a gym. If you happen to scrape your arm on the artificial rock wall, it leaves what is very similar to a rug burn and, as it turns out, will scar you. I have two of these on my right forearm near my elbow.

Chicken Pox Scar: I had chicken pox when I was little (maybe 2 or so) and apparently the one in my eyebrow itched like hell, because I have a nice little bald patch on my right eyebrow.

Swingset Scar: I was about 8 or so and I was camping out at a place called Crater Lake with my family. I was playing on the swingset in the playground, doing that one move where you lay on the swing on your stomach, twirl the rope up, then let loose. Apparently the poles were crooked on this particular swing set and I smashed my face into it, requiring several stiches on my chin, which my mother later decided to rip out of my face on her own. I now have a nice sideways V shaped scar on the bottom of my chin.

And my personal favorite....Cowgirl Scar. This one happened when I was on top of my boyfriend at the time in the passenger seat of a Jeep Wrangler in the parking lot of my high school. No rugburn hurts as much as upholstery burn, let me tell you, and I have the scar to prove it on my right knee.

Bean 8,607 19
12/02/2010 06:16 PM

CRATER LAKE?!?!

I live close to there, and my worst injury of all time was when I was also camping at Crater Lake, and followed my friend who was trying to walk down the side of an entirely too steep canyon. I fell, and tumbled stunt-man style down the canyon. I had various abrasions on my body, the biggest being on my left shin. I think if you look hard enough you can still see a scar there.

I have a couple chicken pox scars on my face. I have a scar on my thumb from peeling potatoes when I was probably 6 or 7. My most recent scar is a scratch on the back of my hand from play wrestling with Mr. Bean. (Unfortunately, not the English bloke)
